People formerly had, trying to swallow

Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums" -the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. T. Teller, M. D., of Chittenango,
N. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: " Ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
sSafe, pleasant, and certain in
their action is the concise testimony
of DIR. George e. Walker, of Martins

A Bright Little Girl.

A certain good Catholic head of family is
heartily down parochiai schools. He goes to
church regularly and takes his children to
church, but when it comes to the matter of
their education the public schools of the Com
monwealth good enough for him. The
priest of his church visits him occasionally and
reasons with him on what he calls the error of
his ways. but our good Catholic is imperturbable
He knows what he wants, and proposes to have
his children educated in the schools of the citi-
zen.
Not long ago one of his small people, one
quite too small to go to any school. was left to
entertain Father - for few minutes. He
began in jocular manner to quiz her a little.
''How much two times two!"
'EFour"
''Three times threel"
''Nine."
"Come. now; wouldn't you say temp said
Father
But the little girl did not assume the look of
puzzled innocence which the priest expected
She tipped her small head on one side, looked
up at him brightly and chippered back:
Il gueth you go to school to the thisters'
school"
The genial advocate of the Sisters school,
tells this on himself, and the smart little girl
got cent from her papa.

Editor Herald-The action OF the
County Prohibition Club at its last
meeting is, l think, against the
best interests of the county. There
is not a whiskey saloon in our
county, and no probability ofthere
being one. aud as prohibition has
been warning against whiskey sa-
looms what makes it necessary to
hold an election upon the question?
If prohibition has dried up the
whiskey saloons we had, what more
does it want? When this was be-
ing done it was said by its promi-
nent advocates that they did not
propose to disturb the beer saloons.
A prominent prohibitionist told me
recently the object Of the election
was to get rid Of the beer saloon in
Gloster, because a certain man oc-
casionally got drunk there on beer.
The people Of the county must go
to the expense Of an election, en-
dure the strife, hard feelings and
blood-shed it will probably occa-
sion, simply, ifthis be the case, to
get rid of beer saloon at Gloster
| am fully persuaded that saving
our annual crop Of sixty thousand
drunkards from hell and damnation
by prohibition is at variance with
Gods plan for saving them, is
therefore unscriptural, as well as
being at variance with the founda
ton upon which our governmen
was erected and stands. But while
this is my opinion Of prohibition
while | am opposed to it, | did no
propose to disturb the conditions
now existing. I thought we wer'
doing very well, and that we hat
) better let it alone, and / beliey'
vast majority Of the good peopl
Of the county feel the same abou
it. Feeling as | do, and thinking
as ! do, the election which is beini
sought upon the prohibition ques
ton is unnecessary, out Of plac
, and wrong. | am inclined to thinl
a close examination Of it would re
veal the fact that a desire to obtail
Office and the hope Of being rolle'
, into it on a prohibition wave is a
the bottom of this election business
In the interest Of peace and cor
tinued good will among the peopl
I say let it not be held. | am salts
fed that serious trouble will gro
: out Of it, and | don't think tn
, good people Of the county want t
have unnecessary trouble. / sa
"let us have peace"

Editor Herald-Jack seems to be
somewhat alarmed lest prohibition
will be made a political issue. Now
| differ somewhat with Mr.. Jack.
| believe that prohibition is grand
institution-good for politics, good
for the pulpit; if not, what is it
good for2 He also gave vent to his
spleen by intimating that some of
the prohibition fanatics will get us
into a 'rucus.' Was not Patrick
Henry declared a fanatic, and charg-
ed with treason, bnt when they
made his theory a political issue,
and not until then, was it sue
cess. And on down in later years
when Horace Greeley and others
took up the cause Of abolition Of
slavery, they were called fanatics.
But nevertheless when it became
a political issue then did it finally
triumph, and men to-day can say
their fanaticism is blessed of God,
and we see the good therein. Man,
| it takes fanaticism formed of deep
convictions to be a success. We
have many who are working for
prohibition to-day that are called
! fanatics, and that are making a
rucus wherever they may be found
against whisky. In fact, they are
fighting sin wherever they find it,
and their zeal is 50 great some are
pleased to call them fanatics. ]
hope Jack will become more cour-
ageous, and lam in to this great
evil, and, if necessary for the safety
of our boys and wives, our homes
and the advancement of Christ's
kingdom on earth, that we may
with our deep convictions become
fanatics indeed. Hence if it is fol
the safety of our cause to secure
linen who will not be ashamed tt
advocate the cause of prohibition
!, in our legislative halls, let's make
il an issue. PROHIBITION.
